All NJROTC parents welcome. We have started off the year and hit the ground running. We have performed 100's of service hours so far and will perform 100's more by the time school ends. Let me fill you in on what we have planned for the rest of Oct.
1. Mini-Bootcamp runs from 15 - 17 Oct. we will leave school by 3:45 and transport all of the cadets out to Riggs Scout Camp on Elk river Road. Graduation will be at 10:00 am sharp on the morning of the 17th. Please be on time to pick up your cadet. A letter with directions and more information will be handed out on Wed. the 13th, so do a back pack check. The bootcamp is worth 200 points in their grade.
2. After school we will kick off rifle team this week on Mondays and Tuesdays to start. If I don't get enough participation for the drill team I will cancel drill and concentrate on orienteering on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Usually those practices start after school and run until 4:30 or 5:00
3. We are planning a Halloween Paint Ball on Oct 30th if we get enough participation. More to follow on that towards the end of Oct.
4. We do have Pop-Up events that we get on short notice and I will try to get those on the blog as soon as the come up.
5. So far it's been a great year and your cadets are snapping in fine. I will attach a copy of our newsletter to the blog once a month so look for your cadet in the newsletter. My phone, email, and door is always open for any questions or concerns. work 441-2540, cell 599-6942, smithdarrin@eurekacityschools.org
